According to Su Ming's understanding, Nana was currently a third-year student in the Practical Control Department, with cultivation at the Spirit Ancestor level.
"Fourteen years old, Spirit Ancestor. Even among the three Douluo nations, she belongs to the batch with excellent talent."
The Practical Control Department referred to a department for those who did not manufacture Spirit Tools but could skillfully use various types of Spirit Tools. It referred to Spirit Engineers, not Spirit Masters. So, "Practical Control" had no relation to the Control System; the so-called "control" referred to the control of Spirit Tools.
"The Sun Moon Empire is also catching up. So far, it's hard to see how they could lose here."
Clearly, such a department had also been developed recently. There were very few Spirit Engineers in the entire department, and the requirements were very high. One needed the talent to master using Spirit Tools in conjunction with their own Martial Spirit for combat, and they must not have relied on medicine pills.
Correct, absolutely no reliance on medicine pills!
The reason the Practical Control Department was established was to catch up to the Martial Soul Department of the three Douluo nations and strengthen the personal power of Spirit Masters.
Once the Practical Control Department truly produced a Titled Douluo, this department's mission would be considered accomplished, and by then, the Sun Moon Empire would also shed its embarrassing situation of lacking pure Spirit Masters.
Su Ming arrived at the teaching area.
After lying in wait for half a day, he finally encountered Nana.
"Such pure resentment, yet this young girl herself remains unaffected. She must frequently enter areas with extreme heavy resentment. For now, it seems this Evil Spirit Master is within my ability to handle."
Su Ming took a deep breath and stepped forward, stopping Nana, who was in a hurry to leave.
"Senior Sister."
Being intercepted on the way, Nana was naturally in a bad mood. She looked up at Su Ming and said impatiently, "What is it, Junior Brother?"
"Are you Senior Sister Nana?" Su Ming asked.
Nana nodded patiently.
If Su Ming couldn't say something in the next second that would make her stay, she was ready to step past him and leave directly.
Her time was very tight; she didn't have much extra time to chat or flirt with a junior brother.
"Ghost Martial Spirit, or perhaps a variant Martial Spirit?"
Su Ming didn't have much extra energy to waste either, so his words were quite blunt.
Nana's gaze sharpened.
She stared at Su Ming, not understanding why he would say that.
Was a Ghost Martial Spirit a Martial Spirit?
She didn't know herself and had never even thought about it in those terms before.
"What does the classification of Martial Spirits have to do with you?"
"Of course it does. Martial Spirit holders are one family." Su Ming revealed a bright smile and said to Nana, "Senior Sister, it's not convenient to talk here. Shall we change locations?"
Nana showed a wary expression.
She was actually quite simple, with a pure goal: to rescue her parents and escape the Holy Spirit Cult.
To this end, she had considered many possibilities and attempted many practices, but each time her hopes were crushed by those demons from the Holy Spirit Cult, and she suffered punishment again and again.
Later, helpless, she could only pin her hopes on strength. So she cultivated desperately, seizing every minute and second to cultivate after completing the basic tasks assigned by the Holy Spirit Cult. Her cultivation level did not betray her efforts; a Spirit Ancestor at fourteen was an achievement that would be enough to enter the Inner Court even at Shrek Academy.
Just now, when she heard Su Ming mention the Body Sect, her heart beat fiercely. This was a path she had never considered before.
Holding a sliver of hope in her heart, she hesitated but still nodded and followed Su Ming away from the teaching area.
Su Ming didn't say much more and led Nana towards his dormitory.
The two spoke quietly, and Su Ming had Electrolux discreetly block the sound, so the surrounding students couldn't hear what they said. They only saw a first-year junior brother accost a third-year senior sister and, after just a few words, lead her away, and towards the dormitory area at that!
"Envy, jealousy, hatred!"
"That's the single dormitory area over there. This junior brother is truly a First Sage!"
"."
Nana followed behind Su Ming, her frown tightening.
She didn't particularly care about school gossip, but following a stranger to his dormitory at this moment made her even more wary.
She was simple, but it was a simplicity of pure purpose, not clear and stupid. Having experienced inhuman torture, she also possessed extraordinary vigilance.But she ultimately held back.
She wanted to follow Su Ming and see what exactly he wanted to say.
The Body Sect...
This was a path she had never envisioned before.
Entering the dormitory, Su Ming got straight to the point.
"As I just told you, Senior Sister, Martial Spirit Masters are one family. This is the tenet of our Body Sect. I learned of your situation accidentally and inquired about it. Your Ghost Martial Spirit indeed might belong to the Martial Spirit category, and possibly even fall under the mysterious soul aspect of the Spirit Master's Being."
Soul?
Nana's eyes flashed.
Originally, she herself was uncertain whether her Martial Spirit was a Martial Spirit, but Su Ming's words directly made her affirm it.
Yes!
Of course, a ghost is definitely not a soul, but who can thoroughly research the mysterious soul?
So even if her Martial Spirit truly wasn't a Martial Spirit, it must be now.
And strictly speaking, even if a ghost isn't a soul, it should be considered an energy form manifested by the soul, absolutely qualifying as part of the soul.
If it's confirmed as a Martial Spirit, could she join the Body Sect through this junior brother? Joining the Body Sect, did that mean she could rescue her parents?
Even with some composure, Nana couldn't help her heartbeat accelerating now.
Of course, she didn't just stay at fantasy; she quickly became wary again, thinking about why a junior brother at the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy would be a member of the Body Sect.
The most important question------was this another test by the Holy Spirit Cult?
Remembering how she had been trapped time and again before, jumping into schemes, attempting to escape the Holy Spirit Cult's control, only to find herself played like a fool, an inexplicable feeling of panic emerged in Nana's heart, and her body trembled slightly.
Entrapment?
"Senior Sister, if you have any questions, feel free to ask directly."
Nana suppressed all her complex physical reactions, calmed herself down, and asked her first question.
"Why would someone from the Body Sect appear here?"
"The sect has already decided to develop within the Sun Moon Empire's borders. I will be presiding over all matters here."
Just a little kid presiding?
Nana showed a disappointed expression.
But the disappointment was only slight. She coldly questioned again, "Aren't you afraid I'll expose your identity?"
"Martial Spirit holders are one family. Even if you expose me today, the sect will not blame you. This is the Body Sect." Su Ming said seriously.
His tone was solemn at this moment.
Regardless of the starting point, what Su Ming said to Nana now was indeed sincere.
This was the Body Sect's tenet.
He himself had only been able to enter the Body Sect because of this point back then.
Even after being somewhat betrayed by the Su Family, the Body Sect still acknowledged Su Ming as a disciple.
Of course, in reality, the Su Family was also sincerely seeking cooperation.
After entering the sect, Su Ming also felt the status of this tenet in the hearts of the Body Sect disciples. Within the sect, one could definitely feel a unique atmosphere, a sense of family clumsily fostered.
That feeling was wonderful, providing an inexplicable sense of peace, and it infected every new disciple joining the Body Sect, inspiring them to protect this pure land.
Therefore, he was also willing to practice this tenet of the sect.
This was also the reason why, back then, even though he knew Huo Yuhao was someone Tang San had his eyes on, he still repeatedly invited him; he wanted to fulfill his duty as a member of the Body Sect.
